Quilt Show
if you've never been, I highly recommend it. But pace yourself and wear sensible shoes. The International Quilt Show here in Houston, running through this next Sunday, is sensational. I mean really.
I meet a friend who comes over from New Braunfels and we get sensory overload in short order. It is a truly amazing experience.
As an aside;lost track of my friend several years ago while attending the show. It is not easy to track down a little white haired lady of a (ahem)certain age in the vast sea of same cramming the aisles at the George R Brown convention center. Thank God she was wearing pink tennis shoes. I quit looking at white heads and concentrated on the search for pink sneakers.
SO, its a good idea to carry cell phones or set up a rendevous site w/in the convention center. Just be prepared to be overwhelmed by all the great artwork on display.
Its a hoot!
gotta go =^,,^=
